HELP US

Help UsHere are some ways that you may be able to help us with our work﻿﻿

﻿﻿1. Support our events. We have to raise £8,500 each year in order to operate the Wessex scheme. Most of the money is used to pay for the interpreter and for the group’s return air fare and other travel costs.

2. Donate clothing for the children. We need good-as-new items of Summer clothing to fit 10 to 13 year olds. We also need suitable shoes. We can send a few items of Winter clothing back with them to help them and their families out in the cold weather.

3. Help with hosting if your circumstances allow and you live in the Poole/Bournemouth/Wimborne* area. This has to be subject to a home visit and informal interview. A DBS (former CRB) check will also be required but is straightforward to arrange. *We are based in Broadstone.

4. Be an Uncle and/or Aunt. Uncles and Aunts support host families by looking after children when the host family has a prior arrangement that conflicts with their hosting arrangements. Checks are as for host families.

5. Offer your services to help with the stay. You may be able to offer a visit or an activity that would be a welcome addition to the group’s itinerary.

6. Fundraise on our behalf. You may have new ideas or be able to access methods of funding that we haven’t been able to exploit.
